Playing rugby against a Russian helicopter was how it lookedfrom an observer's point of view. Bloody hard work' was more likely the commentsfrom the Doppelmayr and Turoa staffwho shoved and shouldered the new quad's towers into place as they were lowered onto site. Because the towers were flown in completely assembled they were more top-heavy than normal, so the bases tended to swing somewhat. This meant up to five attempts in some cases before the scrum managed to pin the towers down onto their bolts.
